Based on two-dimensional (2-D) trigonometry, a new numerical method is presented to describe nonlinear magnetic and electromagnetic torque characteristics in switched reluctance motors (SRMs). The computed and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed numerical method can be used to precisely compute nonlinear magnetic and torque characteristics in SRMs.
